2. Copy and paste the top 5 career clusters in the space below. You can take this directly from the table on the website. Results:
In first place, I didn't agree with most tests I did, they didn't describe me very well.
The result of the first test I made was "Innovative". I agreed with that, because I really like to innovate and to be challenged with new and unexpected experiences. As "social", because I like listening the others, and help them too. I didn't agree entirely with "Directive", in fact i'm independent and I don't like working with other people's rules, but in other hand I don't like to make decisions and cordenate the work of others.
In general, I liked the results of the second test. The first result was "Naturalistic", and I love nature and everything that is related to it. The second result was "Musical", and I found it funny because I love music but I wasn't expected it was my second result. The last result was "Interpersonal", it didn't surprised me because I like to mix with other people.
It was from the third test that I started to disagree with my results. I dislike my top 5 career because it has everything to do with science, although I think it's interesting, it's nothing that I want to do in the future, besides it hasn't much to do with me. I would like to work in a place where I could do different things everyday and don't be bored. I enjoyed working in a place where I could be in contact with animals, something envolving them, but it didn't have directly to do with science. I also would like to work outdoors, I would hate having a job where I would be seated all day, in a room.
Finally, the last test didn't surprised me like the previous test, becase are all results that don't have much to do with me. I'm still not sure of what I want to be, and also doesn't have much information of all careers that I can follow, but I'm not seeing myself following anyone of this careers, although either could be interesting, but this careers aren't the ones I would do the rest of my life.
I don't understand why Luciana doesn't agree with the third test. She thinks that she's in a right course, but she isn't. An advice Luciana: follow the science, the tests didn't fail.
Filipa Gamas
I understand Luciana when she says she doesn’t have enough information about the career choices she can make. In fact, I think all of us, students of final years, we should be closely in order to give us all the information to ensure we do the best possible choice for our future. Catarina Martins
I agree with Filipa, probably the course that you have chosen isn't the best for you. For example, if you like working in a place that you are in contact with animals, I think you would be a great veterinarian.
Rita CV
I understand Luciana when she said " would like to work in a place where I could do different things everyday and don't be bored. I enjoyed working in a place where I could be in contact with animals" because I know you fed up of things quickly and always to be in the same place and you love animals :b Miriam Gaspar
Like Catarina, I understand Lu and I agree with what Catarina said.
You're a social person, you listen your friends, help them and you're always with a smile on your face to everyone. You're directive too, and you're like me: we hate make decisions! In fact, you love nature and music too. Are you imagining, singing on a stage in front of hundreds people? ahaha
I totally disagree with top 5 career. I can't understand why all these professions are related with science area. YOU'RE PLACE IS BY MY SIDE. forget these tests, they just want separate us!!
Follow the highest score in career clusters because I need someone who tell me what I can eat, what are the best food and all these things which I'm obsessed -.- Bete F
Luciana I imagine you as renewable resources engineer! As we can see in you tests you are a very animal and nature person. However you are in “Humanidades” area, maybe you should go back to your former area “Sciences”, even do I know that you don’t like it at all! Daniela Pequito
